NCT Heidelberg - Molecular Precision Oncology Program

“Research for a life without cancer" is our mission at the German Cancer Research Center. We investigate how cancer develops, identify cancer risk factors and look for new cancer prevention strategies. We develop new methods with which tumors can be diagnosed more precisely and cancer patients can be treated more successfully. Every contribution counts – whether in research, administration or infrastructure. This is what makes our daily work so meaningful and exciting.

Are you passionate about translating complex molecular data into actionable insights that can shape the future of cancer therapy? Then join our interdisciplinary and international team of the cutting-edge Molecular Precision Oncology Program at the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ).
